The PET scan shows the tumor is no longer active.
The MRI shows the tumor is a tiny bit smaller (probably because dead cells take up less room than live cells).
Dr. M believes that the radiation therapy combined with the chemotherapy knocked it out. The ongoing chemotherapy is designed to kill the live cancer cells that are roaming around his brain. The live cells are too small to show up on any scan. The hope is they stay that way, never congregating and creating more.
More details of this awesome news to come later!
